> I guess Clojure doesn't count as interesting and/or a lisp then

The Schemers and Common Lispers have been saying this about Clojure for years, you know ...

And, in the interest of full disclosure, I don't disagree with the choice that Clojure made. Not being able to process a "list" as a sequence is a PITA.

However, articles like these get written with "Look how easy it is to make a Lisp" without saying "Except that we didn't implement these really hard features that actually make a Lisp"
